Mukesh Ambani’s $11 Billion Power Play: Reliance Industries India FMCG Strategy 2026
Reliance Industries, led by Mukesh Ambani, targets $11bn in FMCG sales by 2026. Discover how reviving legacy brands and aggressive price cuts are disrupting PepsiCo and Unilever in India.
India's richest man is shaking up the kitchen pantry. Mukesh Ambani, through his conglomerate Reliance Industries, is aggressively expanding into the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector, putting global giants like PepsiCo and Hindustan Unilever on the defensive.
Reliance Industries India FMCG Strategy 2026: The $11 Billion Ambition
According to Reuters and Nikkei, Reliance has set a massive sales target of $11 billion for its consumer goods unit. The strategy is built on a "bargain hunt" that started in 2022. One of its most notable moves was the purchase of the defunct fizzy drink maker Campa for just 220 million rupees ($2.4 million). By reviving legacy brands bought at throwaway prices, Reliance is bypassing the high costs of building new brands from scratch.
Disrupting the Giants with Price Cuts
It's not just about nostalgia; it's about the wallet. Reliance is leveraging its vast retail network to implement deep price cuts that PepsiCo, Dabur, and Tata Group are struggling to match. Industry insiders say this aggressive pricing is designed to capture market share quickly in India's highly price-sensitive middle-class segment.
